MANGLED REMAINS.

The scene of the bridge shortly afte;
the disaster was terrible. In one place
the bodies taken out were placed in a
row. All were badly mangled. Large
numbers of women we're on the train and
many we're to be seen in the ruins. One
woman was cut completely in twO-ths
upper half only being found. I've mea
who were saved had their faces hacked
and tho lips of one were cut off. Con
ductor Tilden was in the third car which
remained on top of the embankment, aDd
on the ground directly underneath where
he was standing when killed is pool Of
blood, while half of the debris of that
coach is spattered with blood. Underneath
this coach we're picked up the breast and
lungs ef a human being, possibly a Por'
ton of the conductors body. That the
horrors of fire were not added to the terrible
disaster was due to the promptness viii
which relief was sent. The chemical e.
CINE from Roslindale was at the scene
within twenty minutes after the wreck oc.
Cured, brought by a letter carrier, who
gave an alarm of fire upon observing
flames issuing from the debris. The
flames were soon extinguished and The
fremen then did excellent work in res
cuing this iklUred.

CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.

The bridge where the accident occurred
was built in July, 1876. 1t was 400 ief.
in length, 90 feet in height and spanned
the road; resting on heavy stone walls
The grade OF the road is very heavy anu
there is sharp curve where the bridge
crosses the highway. The latter runs
diogonally under the bridge, and me
abutments upon which the structure re's
are set at sharp angles. The bridge vas
designed for a double track but only 3
single track crosses it new and the ~
perts cannot understand how goth truSss
were carried down when the bearing
comes upon only one.

TWENTY SEVEN KILLED
By Terrible Accident on the Boston
& Providence Railroad.
A Passenger Train Plunges from
Bridge-Cause Due to the COLLAPSE
of a Car Truck.

A Boston special of Monday says: An
accident occurred this morning on tbs
Dedham branch of the Boston & Provi
dence Railroad, between Forest Hill ana
Roslindale, at what is known as Busseg
Park Bridge. The o'clock train from
Dedham, consisting of seven cars and
baggage car, under charge of Couducto,
Tiden, broke through the bridge. The
engine and three cars vent over safglv
but the five others fell through In.
bridge to the road beneath, distance OF
thirty feet. The last car, which wa,
the smoker, turned completely over
and struck on top of the others, all being
crushed out of shape. The smoking can
after it fell, caught fire, but the fire de.
partment was promptly on hand aud pre-.
vented the spread of the flames. Il /,
stated that the bridge is comparatively A
new one, and that the accident was caused
by a truck on one of the cars giving way
causing the car to strike against the abut
ment of the bridge.
The bodies of the dead have all been
removed, and OF the wounded some are
at the hospital and some have been taken
home, so that it is very difficult to obtain
their names and the extent of their in
iuries at the present time.
The engineer, when his engine broke
from the train, kept right on to Forest
Hill and gave the alarm instead of stop
ping to ascertain the extent of the aeci-
dent and on that account it was possible
to get assistance at o.ce. The officers Of
the road are present and are doing ell
they can Many doctors are there doing
everything in their power. Supt. Folsom
says he does not know how many were
killed or injured, but it is estimated that
at least twenty-seyen persons must have
persisted

We are going home. Men shiyer at the

world is only nest. We are scarcely
Matched out of it here. We do not know
ourselves, We have strange feelings that
do not interpret themselves. The mortal

the night the child, waking with some
vague and nameless terror, cries out to
express its fear and dread, and its cry is
interpreted in the mothers heart, who
runs to the child and lays her land upon
it and quiets it to sleep again, so God
hears our disturbances, trials and tribula-
tions of life. Do you not suppose that He
who is goodness itself cares for you? Do
you suppose that He whose royal name is
Love has less sympathy for you than the

THE capital punishment law has been

life is substituted for death penalties IN
all cases of murder in the first degree.
Such convicts, however, are to be kept IN
close confinement, away from all associ

to the governor and council, unless the
convict is proved innocent.
